Veneto, Tuscany and its environs, spring 2009

My second trip to Italy. A year ago, managed to see places in northern Italy, on his way from Turin to Venice. At this time the plans were to call in Italy through the Alps from Munich to stay a few days at Garden City to look around Verona, then go to Florence, Tuscany travel around and come back again in Munich through Verona. Departure was scheduled on April 24, the return - 11 th May.

Iraq. May in the Kurdistan region. All the same, go there, I decided to write - to share a purely practical information. Let us not speculate about go-no go, just practical and relevant to what they saw, heard about the prices, stay, movement and security.
